Member Function Documentation

◆ CLIB_CACHE_LINE_ALIGN_MARK()

load_balance_t_::CLIB_CACHE_LINE_ALIGN_MARK ( cacheline0  )

required for pool_get_aligned.

memebers used in the switch path come first!

Field Documentation

◆ lb_buckets

dpo_id_t* load_balance_t_::lb_buckets

Vector of buckets containing the next DPOs, sized as lbo_num.

Definition at line 166 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_buckets_inline

dpo_id_t load_balance_t_::lb_buckets_inline[LB_NUM_INLINE_BUCKETS]

The rest of the cache line is used for buckets.

In the common case where there there are less than 4 buckets, then the buckets are on the same cachlie and we save ourselves a pointer dereferance in the data-path.

Definition at line 174 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_fib_entry_flags

fib_entry_flag_t load_balance_t_::lb_fib_entry_flags

Flags from the load-balance's associated fib_entry_t.

Definition at line 138 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_flags

load_balance_flags_t load_balance_t_::lb_flags

Flags concenring the LB's creation and modification.

Definition at line 133 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_hash_config

flow_hash_config_t load_balance_t_::lb_hash_config

the hash config to use when selecting a bucket.

this is a u16

Definition at line 161 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_locks

u32 load_balance_t_::lb_locks

The number of locks, which is approximately the number of users, of this load-balance.

Load-balance objects of via-entries are heavily shared by recursives, so the lock count is a u32.

Definition at line 146 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_map

index_t load_balance_t_::lb_map

index of the load-balance map, INVALID if this LB does not use one

Definition at line 151 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_n_buckets

u16 load_balance_t_::lb_n_buckets

number of buckets in the load-balance.

always a power of 2.

Definition at line 116 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_n_buckets_minus_1

u16 load_balance_t_::lb_n_buckets_minus_1

number of buckets in the load-balance - 1.

used in the switch path as part of the hash calculation.

Definition at line 121 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_proto

dpo_proto_t load_balance_t_::lb_proto

The protocol of packets that traverse this LB.

need in combination with the flow hash config to determine how to hash. u8.

Definition at line 128 of file load_balance.h.

◆ lb_urpf

index_t load_balance_t_::lb_urpf

This is the index of the uRPF list for this LB.

Definition at line 156 of file load_balance.h.
